I got the old alternator wire out and when I went to test fit the new one I got, it didnt seem to want to go in all the way. Pushing harder didnt do the trick and i didnt want to jam it on.
When I looked at the old and new i noticed they were very similar, but not quite the same. Does anyone know the part # or have a link? Or even any tips in the case that this us the right one and im just missing something? Thanks!

I'm not looking for the whole alternator, just the plug is what I'm replacing as in the picture. I was able to fit it on, it just was a tighter fit than I expected but I think the oring was making a seal so it felt harder than it really was. I'm now about to solder but I'm not sure how to go about it as the new wire has different color wires going to the back of the plug. Since it's the same pin pattern I assume to just solder based on the locations of the old plug/pins, ignoring the colors, but I'd rather double check as I've never done anything involving wiring.
